The cost of a machine is S2O. and it is estimated to last for at least fifty years. “’0 are evidently on the eve of great. improvements in lighting cities; but all new inven tions have to fight their way and overemno many prejudices before they become essablished. An elec tric light is to be considered by thei St. Louis common council as a proper means for lighting the public library. The electrician guarantees it will furnish light of about 5,000 candle ower—about twice the present il lbminatlon—and will operate the same for one month, the board to furnish the steam power and to pay him 6.3 per cent. of what the gas bill for the same time would be. If the machine gives satisfaction it will he sold to the board for a reasonable figuw, or, if they do not choose to buy, it will be removed at the inveir tors cost- The power necessary is to be taken from an attachment to the elevatorrengine, and it is claimed will not in any way reduce the elfective ness of the hoisting power.—“Bos ten Shipping List.” The four American steamers pur chased by the Russian Government I‘lust before the close of the Russo urkish war are to be dispatched to Cronstudt us soon as they are com pleted.
